Riders #1

In the opening issue, we are introduced to the world of the Rider via the opiate of its inhabitants: television. During the media frenzy leading up to the launch of KenkyūCorp's newest mobile phone, a brazen terrorist attack kills their lead spokesman and shocks the nation. In the days that follow, Japan's most watched news program, Channel 8 OmniNews, and its lead anchorman, Shintaro Fukasaku, follow the subsequent attacks by the mysterious individual, clad in an outfit reminiscent of old superhero TV shows and apparently capable of superhuman acts of violence.
